Bothtec, Inc.

Overview

Bothtec was a Japanese company which developed and published games for PC systems and, in its final years, mobile phones. They are mostly known for their Relics series, as well as their games based on the Legend of Galactic Heroes media franchise. They also created Project EGG, a service originally made to allow players to play the company's old games on modern platforms and now offering games from other companies as well. The company went bankrupt in 2005 after going through a legal battle with Yoshiki Tanaka over a breach of licensing terms for the Legend of Galactic Heroes franchise and its IPs, as well as the Project EGG service were transferred to D4 Enterprise, a company established by former Bothtec employees.
